    "content": "state as a country. We are highlighting petty issues and leaving very serious issues unattended. I thought that Sen. Elachi would mention the incident where the Senator for Uasin Gishu County raided Eldoret University to flash out the Vice Chancellor, Mrs. Akenga. She is from my Constituency in Bungoma County and happens to be from the Luhya nation married to a person from the Luo nation. The Governor of Uasin Gishu hired lorries and rounded up all street children in Eldoret who are Luhyas and dumped them in Busia County. Nobody even asked him to record a statement. Nobody in Government said this was wrong even as this Constitution says that you can live, work and own property anywhere. Those children, commonly referred to as chokoraas – the street families – must be given recognition and respect. When a governor behaves like that in a county that is very cosmopolitan --- Uasin Gishu is not any less cosmopolitan than Trans-Nzoia, Nakuru and Nairobi counties. Nothing happened. Those are the enemies of peace. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the other day you saw the same Governor now emboldened with the impunity that he has inherited from those who put them in power, accompanied by the Governor for Elgeyo-Marakwet County – a very fine young man whom I have been meeting thinking that he is sensible – has now been contaminated to the level where we cannot even describe him. They raid a university wanting to flush out – not even a Vice Chancellor but an acting one – who did not even apply to be a vice chancellor. It is the Ministry that saw the mess and said that he acts before the processing of appointing a new Vice-Chancellor is completed. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, these two governors accompanied by six upstart politicians raided Moi University."
